My library has made a positive impact in my life by:
-[offering] children's programs designed to teach children,
entertain them, and expand their reading and creative skills.
-providing Internet services and a calm and relaxing
atmosphere.
-offering adult enrichment courses such as photography.
I travel to several different states and maintain library memberships in
Florida, Wyoming and Michigan. I would be lost without a library
nearby. - Janice K.

My library has helped me to meet new people, learn something new,
homeschool my children, find a book to enjoy, and encourage a child to
love to read.- Allen

My library finds for me most of the obscure and unusual books that I ask
for. - Patricia

Because I value my privacy and this letter is from "anonymous", it may
not count as credible. However, I appreciate being able to tell
someone how much I appreciate the library in my community. The
library helped me to transition emotionally through a difficult
life-changing experience. After an abrupt move from busy
city-living to isolated country-living, the library soothed my frazzled
nerves by allowing me access to the many books in the many libraries in
Michigan. This vast array of information kept me sane while
adjusting to my now happy and content country life. Some books
helped me with my emotional health and others with my physical health.
Some helped me learn computer skills, do my taxes and even taught me to
cook and bake healthy recipes. I still rely on books from the
library to keep my mind active and excited about all the learning
possibilities the library has made available to me. Thanks to all
involved.-

Books are my outlet and passion. I read to go to other places and
get away from worries and concerns. I have enjoyed this library
for years and will continue to do so forever. Thank you! - Lynn Savage

I am sixty-six and have used this library ever since I was a kid.
My husband is going to be 75 this year and a couple of years ago I
finally got him to start reading. He has checked out lots of books
and finished all of them. Now I bring my great-granddaughter to
the library. She is only three but loves to go to the library.- Judy

Originally from a different area, the library was one of the first
places we sought out. The staff is so friendly and calls us by
name. We are able to check out books or use computers to learn how
to do new things, especially cookbooks for me. The library has
helped me with resources for book reports and projects for school.
I bring my niece and nephew to the library when they come to visit me. - Cassandra

The library helped me because I am able to get on [computer] sites to
meet new people and make friends. I am able to search for books
when I can't find them on the shelves.- Dean E.

When our son, Steven was young, he went to story hour. Mrs. Ruth
